Wellington and Picton

Greetings,

 Here is Wellington (left)  and Picton (right), painted and based. I'm not quite happy with Wellington's horse colour, but I'm leaving it be.

 Oh, and due to the sheer horror of some of my friends I have purchased several yellow paints. Although I'm not a fan of hearing that it is a harder colour to paint than white. I'm going to try and get a unit of French line painted for the weekend for a game against an American friend of mine. Hopefully I will be able to stop his force of Spanish and British.


Photos, army lists and battle report hopefully will go up on the weekend.

Uxbridge

Greetings,

It has been a while since I've posted anything, but I have had about a month sabbatical from posting. No idea why, but I think an elusive camera might have been one issue and me not painting much being the other.

Recently the Waterloo rules from Warhammer Historical has been on my mind a lot. I've had two games using the rules. one at 1100pts and one at 1500pts. I have bought a multitude of extras for the French and the British forces that I already had. 

Here is Uxbridge, Wellington's second in command during Waterloo. There are a few things wrong with him. His sash and cummerbund should be yellow with a red stripe through the middle, all that is orange on him should be yellow and it should be a leopard skin on his horse not a tiger.

Reasons why, I have no yellow paint. The green and red sash and cummerbund break up the orange and blue, and I like tigers.

FOLLOW THE COOKIE!!!

Greetings,

 This post has been a long time in coming, and I apologise for that. Here is some more work on the Cookiehorn and 'Something Hungry This Way Comes...'

Cookiehorn

I've not done much to this model to be honest. I have drybrushed the cookie horns with Dark Flesh (GW) so it fits with the other cookies in my Ogre force. I also added a Baal Red (GW) wash over the flesh coloured bits so it looks like freshly caused damage to the Cookiehorn's flanks. I went over the shields with Badab Black (GW) to give them a bit more definition. I will be adding a brass or bronze to the raised patterns to give it a bit more colour.

I smellz cookiez on you! WHERE IZ DA COOKIEZ???!!!???

 

WHERE IZ DA COOKIEZ? Over here? Nope...

 

Over here? Grrr.....

 

...cookie...? sniff

Something Hungry This Way Comes....

Something Hungry This Way Comes. This guy has been so much fun to do and to annoying at the same time. He is enormous. I mean he towers over the plastic Ogres and he is bigger than the recent character models.

His right arm has been done over the past day. It does have the lack of definition that Cookie Monster has, but I will be poking around with the GS a little bit later when the Green Stuff has hardened a bit more.

The Gnoblar on his head is waving a cookie in his field of vision goading him towards the enemy. He also stops the big ol' monster turning round and tucking into the big stash of cookies behind him.

The Gnoblar on the bowl is going to have a cask of milk pouring it on the cookies.

 COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE!!!!!

 WAAAHHHH!!! WHY YOU NO GIVE ME COOKIE?

 I thought that there were more cookies in here....

 WAAAHHHH!!! WHY YOU NO GIVE ME COOKIE?

Enjoy. I hope that I will be able to put more posts up in a more regular fashion in the future.

Firebelly, Cookiehorn and 'Something hungry, this way comes...'

Greetings,

Here are my current projects.

1) The Cookiehorn.

This beastie can be used for a Thundertusk or a Stonehorn. I have left the back of the Cookiehorn un-glued so that I can switch between the two different types of unit for the model.

 

 'You haz COOKIES!!! Can I haz one?'

 

 'AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Mouses etted my COOKIES!'

2) Something hungry this way comes... and the Firebelly


If you are an Ogre player you should know who this guy is meant to be.

  Size comparison with the Firebelly.

Firebelly reverse.

 Firebelly with flash.

 Firebelly without flash.

Something hungry this way comes is going to look like a Cookie Monster dragging a bowl of cookies. I only have a quarter of a pack of Green Stuff, and currently have the flu (thank you Korean children who are unaware that COUGHING OVER CHRISTIAN TEACHER DOESN'T MAKE HIM HAPPY!!!!). I am going to try and get the basic head and top of the torso done tonight.

Enjoy and comments would be nice(please check my rules when you comment though).
